Ty Herndon will release his new album House on Fire on November 11th, marking his first new music since publicly coming out as a gay man in November 2014. The “What Mattered Most” singer is leading the collection off with the single “That Kind of Night,” the video for which is available [here].

The first sound on the track is Herndon’s voice, still powerful some 20 years after his first series of hits in the Nineties. He envisions one of those unhurried nights where everything seems to fall into place, and the contemporary production conjures open blacktop stretching out ahead. “It’s a roll down your windows, ‘Night Moves’ on the radio, kind of night,” he sings in the first verse. Herndon didn’t write the song, but felt like it was the perfect choice to lead off House on Fire.

“You can hear the passion in my voice: ‘I am here to sing for you people. I want to sing for you and this is what I’m gonna do,'” explains Herndon. “Then that loop starts – that very thing that I didn’t want, that I fell in love with – and you’re off on a journey with that song. We wrestled with all kind of different ideas and I was like ‘Guys, this is just a guitar on the back porch, singing with a couple buddies.”

The video stays true to that idea, featuring Herndon and guitarist Travis Howard in a front porch-like setting, performing the song. The clip was shot in Los Angeles and is the first of five videos that he filmed ahead of the House on Fire release.

“We filmed in Chinatown, in the back of this really cool studio,” says Herndon. “We hauled all the cameras out there and everybody just had fun. Because the music’s really loud when you’re making a video, you notice if the camera man’s tapping his toe, they’re probably loving the music.”

Herndon co-produced House on Fire with Erik Halbig (along with Drew Davis on six tracks) and aimed to put forth a newfound vulnerability and honesty. Nestled in with the lighter numbers like “That Kind of Night” and “If You” are tracks like “House on Fire” that address Herndon’s inner struggles over the last few years. It’s a new look, but one that suits him well.

“This album was a new education for me for my future, investing in my life as a songwriter and a producer and getting outside of my comfort zone,” says Herndon. “And lord knows I got outside of my comfort zone when I came out, but I came outside of my comfort zone to move into a life of pure authenticity. That was most important to me.”

Ty Herndon’s much anticipated, full-length album House On Fire is now available for pre-order on iTunesand Amazon. From track to track, Herndon has made the most engaging, meaningful and fulfilling music of his career. Featuring Herndon’s powerful trademark vocals, the new album is already receiving critical accolades and showcases a deeper, greater strength from a man who has been there and back and has lived to tell about it. House on Fire is the next evolution of Ty Herndon.

House On Fire is a collection of 12 new contemporary songs, which are co-produced by Herndon and Erik Halbig, with Drew Davis joining as co-producer on six of the songs.

“This album is 18-months in the making. The writing was intense at times, but we had a lot of fun throughout the process! This album is me to the very core of my heart and it is without a doubt the most honest and vulnerable album I’ve ever done. It is an album about heart and soul, with songs that everyone can relate to. My hope is that anyone who hears these songs will catch a small piece of his or her life through the music and my story,” said Herndon.

The award-winning vocalist has also released a video to accompany his first single from the album, “That Kind Of Night.” The video is streaming exclusively now on RollingStone.com.

Herndon recently signed with BFD through Sony/RED Distribution, which marks Herndon’s return to the Sony family, where he made his chart-topping debut in the mid-90s. Herndon is also booked by Nashville-based agency, Buddy Lee Attractions.
